Like a surgeon by Weird Al Yankovick is a parody of like a virgin by Madonna. Like a surgeon is so devilishly funny I can’t believe weird al wrote it. It’s all about a guy who just got through med school and became a surgeon. I went …

“Fun, Fun, Fun” is one of the best known of The Beach Boys’ 1960s hit songs, and it has kept what I think is a deserved popularity right up to the present day. It is a short song, at only two and a third minutes in length, and it …

I am a major music junkie. You name an album and I have probably either listened to it or already know the words to each and every one of the songs by heart. That is how much I love listening to music. For awhile, I have not been finding …

Gym Class Heroes are an American band that I didn’t know of till recently. I first heard about them when I heard their first single from a new album on the radio airways, Cupid’s Chokehold.
This song basically starts off with a series of a person singing “ba ba da …

First heard this album, there is the impression that quite disturbing saturation. Nuance of the song to song, impressed the same and no distinctions, although there are some songs that look outstanding when compared with the other songs. Most of the lyrics in this album talk about women and …

One of my favorite cds right now is Gene Simmons ***HOLE. A lot of people may be turned off by the title, but I think if you listened to it, the title soon would be forgotten.
The CD contains thirteen songs, one of which bears the ***hole title. …

“Put You Down” happens to be track 9 on Alice in Chains album “Facelift”. Although by no means is it considered to be a single, I find it to be one of the better tracks on an already excellent album. Give the song a 30 second listen and tell …

“Katzenjammer” is a song by Kyuss that shows up on their album “Wretch” and their EP “Sons of Kyuss”. I am reviewing the “Sons of Kyuss” version. This version of the song “Katzenjammer” happens to not only be longer, but in my opinion better than the one they released …

Harder to breathe by Maroon Five is an awesome song and the lyrics are pretty catchy. I like the beat though because of the drums and all that. This song I found by listening to it on the radio and I wanted to find out where I could get …

This album is a very interesting form of musical art. This is one of the deepest and pompous albums that have ever been recorded. There is a song called The Same Deep Water as You on this album, and I think that the concept of depth is really crucial …

NOTE: Album very explicit. Mature audience only.
Released on February 10th of this year, this is the debut album of the comedy group The Lonely Island, which includes such SNL alumnus as Andy Sandberg, Chris Parnell and Justin Timberlake.

Rainmaker is a track which appears on Iron Maiden’s record Dance Of Death. Right from the start the song opens up with a riff which has a very lighthearted feel to it, it certainly doesn’t exactly come off as the type of riff which I would typically associate with …

One of my favorite albums of all time is Alanis Morrissette’s first internationally-released album, Jagged Little Pill. This was the album which sky-rocketed her to fame and which won her the Album of the Year Grammy in 1996.
I was a tween at that time, and this …

I am not personally a big fan of Avril Lavigne, I don’t enjoy the way she jumps from ‘punk rock princess’ to ‘pop queen’ every ten minutes, it gets annoying after a while. She should stick to the genre in which she is best at, that being new age …

To be honest, I never heard any The Chainsmokers before this. But I think this song has gained enough momentum ever since my friend let me listen to it more than 3 months ago.
Songs always take time to grow, but for this case, I instantly liked it upon first …

Being a fan of this band for some time now I have started to notice that each album they release is more experimental and less heavy, it’s the same with this album, while the musicianship and skill on the album is great I find it hard to believe this …

One of my new favorite songs off of the new Slash album is By the Sword. The track features Wolfmother singer and guitarist Andrew Stockdale. I think Slash did a good job on having him sing for this song. It really fits his style as a rock vocalist …

Merriweather Post Pavilion is an album released by Animal Collective in 2009. Comprised of eleven songs, Merriweather Post Pavilion is posed with the tough task of following Strawberry Jam, Feels, and Sung Tongs which are the three strongest Animal Collective records in my opinion. Overall, I would say that …

The Queen is BACK. I repeat, the QUEEN is back!
No other singer took the storm the way Adele did when she surprised released her post-21 song, “Hello”.
I know everyone knows Adele’s name ever since 21 became a global phenomenon a few years ago. Songs like “Rolling in the Deep”, …

This video used the most simple scenes to make the video so extra special. It gave me a feeling of happiness whenever I watched it and it filled my head with good memories when I was in high school. I wouldn’t think a video by Katy Perry would be …

I first heard the song “Entombment of a Machine” from the American Death Metal band “Job for Cowboy” a couple years ago on an online radio station called “L.A. Metal”. I was still newly into the heavy metal and death metal genre, and even though many fans might scoff …

2000 Light Years From Home is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Their Satanic Majesties Request. The track starts off with some brief noise before giving way to an extremely dissonant and just odd sounding piano. If you’ve heard Sysyphus Pt. 2 by Pink …

Outlaw Blues is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Bringing It All Back Home, one of my personal favorites from him. Although Outlaw Blues is still pretty basic in instrumentation, although not quite as stripped down as many of Dylan’s other songs, the rock driven …

“Crazy Love” by Michael Buble is the latest album by a young man who has been quietly building a reputation as a modern-day Frank Sinatra. He draws upon a similar body of music and brings to it a freshness that it surprising in a canon which most observers would …

Well the first saying that comes to mind when I think of Taylor guitars is “you get what you pay for”. Now, in some situations I have experienced this saying to be untrue. Such as, overpriced restaraunts with poor quality of food, salon grade hair products that …

White Rabbit is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their record Surrealistic Pillow. The song is one of the more well known songs by the band and certainly with good reason. Sometimes tracks can be extremely well known but they just really aren’t that good in reality, …

As one of the earliest songs from Circa Survive, “Handshakes at Sunrise” remains one of my favorites, if only for its sentimental value. Displaying a sound that would become standard for the band, you get a feel for where they started, and how the sound of their early music …

Overview - Goodbye, Cream’s final record, is an album split into three previously heard live tracks and three brand new tracks recorded in the studio. Both of these categories has something to offer that the other doesn’t and this concept is actually a pretty interesting one. If I were …

I have to admit that Cyanide is one track from Death Magnetic which I’ve had quite an interesting relationship with. For those of you who followed Metallica the summer before Death Magnetic was released, you’ll know that they performed this track at Ozzfest live and this was the first …

I was, for a very long time, a huge Oasis fan. I loved their first albums. Especially I enjoyed the second and the third albums. But all their work after 1998 left me rather disappointed. So, I was very interested as to what was going to occur after the …

Sweet Wine is a song by Cream which appears on their debut record, Fresh Cream. The song opens up with an interesting rhythm which is oddly enough established by the vocals themselves and remains fairly prominent throughout the song. The lead vocal line comes in with a melody which …
